Kevin Eldon

Starting on the stand-up circuit in the early ’90s performing an act in character as a political poet, Eldon formed a friendship with the stand up comedian Stewart Lee, which would later lead to an invitation to work with Lee on the radio series Lee & Herring’s Fist Of Fun with Lee’s comedy partner Richard Herring. Lee and Herring would usually refer to him as “The Actor Kevin Eldon”, in reference to his claim to be an actor, rather than a comedian.

He has featured in several other comedy projects including Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Sean Lock’s 15 Storeys High, Spaced, Look Around You (as singer/songwriter ‘Tony Rudd’), Black Books, Big Train, World of Pub, The Sunday Show, Comedy Nation, Cows (the ill-fated Eddie Izzard penned sitcom that followed the life of a family of cows), Jam, I Am Not An Animal, I’m Alan Partridge, The Sofa of Time, Attention Scum!, Nighty Night, Green Wing, Jammin’, Nathan Barley and Hyperdrive.
